PERSONAL.
The infamous character of wholesale liquor dealers' compounds is here illustrated: One cold day several years ago a man purchased one gallon of doctored whisky, carried half of it home, and next day returned for the balance, telling the merchant to put it in a basket, that a jug was not necessary, as the half gallon at home was frozen solid. The elements do not affect Cobweb hall's spirits.

I'oultry Notes.
Select medium sized eggs for hatching. Ducks and young chickens should be kept separate.
Extra large gobblers do not alwajs make the best breeders. One of the advantages with Pekin ducks is that they can be raised with very little water.
A few drops of tincture of iron or a very small piece of copperas in the drinking-water of the poultry promotes health.
With nearly all kinds of fowls hens that are two years old and are vigorous a id healthy make the best breeders.
Peach and plum trees are both less liable to disease when grown in the poultry yard. They will make a better growth and at the same time afford a good shade for the poultry.
In the management of poultry on the farm, whether kept in large or small numbers, attention to details is necessary. It usually determines the question of profit and loss.
The health of the fowls can be assured only by taking pains to clean out the house regularly every morning and add a layer of dust or dry earth as an absorbent.
Young poultry of all kinds ought to be well fed and cared for until the feathers get a good start to growing and they are able to pick up a considerable part of their living. Then they can be turned out and will largely take care of themselves.
METALS MORE PRECIOUS THAN* GOLD.
The Barest and Costliest of All is Gallium at $3,250 an Ouace. Fully ninety-nine persons in every hundred, if asked to name the most precious metals, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, would mention fold as first, platinum as second, and silver aa third. If asked to name [others, a few might add nickel, and a very few|aluminum to the list. Let us see how near to the truth they would be. Gold is worth about $240 per pound, Itroy platinum $130, and silver about $12. Nickel would be quoted at about GO cents, and pur* aluminum 38 or S9 to the troy pound.
We will now compare these price« with those of the rarer and lees wellknown of the metals. To take them in alphabetical order, barium sells for $975 a pound, when it is sold at all, and calcium is worth §1,800 a pound. Cerium is a shade higher—its cost is $160 an ounce, or $1,920 a pound.
These begin to look like fabulous prices, but they do not reach the highest point: Chromium brings $200, cobalt falls to about half the price of silver while didymium is the same price as cerium, and erbium 810 cheaper on th» ounce than calcium, or just §1,6$0 p«r pound.
If the wealth of the Vanderbilts be not overstated, it amounts to nearly two hundred million dollars. With this sum they could purchase 312 tons of gold and have something left over, but they couldn't buy two tons of gallium, that rare metal being worth $3,250 an ounce. With this metal the highest price is reached, and it may well be called the rarest and most precious of metals.
Glucinum is worth S2S0 per ounce indium, $158 iridium, $658 a pound lan thanium. $175, and lithium, $100 per ounce. Niobium costs $128 per ounce asmium, palladium, platinum,potassium, and rhodium bring respectively $640, $400, $130, $32, and $512 per pound. Strontium costs $128 an ounce tantaum, $144 telurium, $9 thorium, $272 vanadium, $320 yttrium, $144, and zirconium $250 an ounce.
Thus we see that the commonly received opinion as to what are the most precious metals is quite erroneous. Barium is more tlnn four times as valuable as gold., and gallium more than one hun dred and sixty-two times as costly, while many of the metals are twice and thrice as valuable. Aluminum, which now costs eight or nine dollars a pound, will eventually be produced as cheaply as steel. When this can be done it will push the latter metal out of a great many of its present uses, as it possesses great strength, toughness and elasticity, with extreme lightness of weight. Its sources of supply are inexhaustible, and its present high cost arises from the difficulty of its extraction in a metallic form. Indium seems to be chiefly used for pointing gold pens, and many of the metals mentioned have but a limited sphere of usefulness.
Thorough Preparations For Spring Planting:. There is no work of more importance with the spring crops than that of thorough preparation of the soil before planting the seed, and especially is this the case with cultivated crops.
It is much easier to prepare the soil in a thoroughly good condition before planting the seed than afterward. It is an item with cultivated crops to begin the cultivation as soon as possible. Weeds can be destroyed much more readily and more thoroughly while they are young and tender than after they get a good start to grow. In a majority of cases, if the soil is rough and cloddy the work of cultivating must be deferred until after the plants have made a good growth.
With the soil well prepared the cultivation can begin with the harrow and this will aid materially to get the soil in a good tilth and to destroy the weeds that may have started up. If the conditions of the soil will admit, it is a good plan, usually, to begin the cultivation by harrowing thoroughly within a week after planting. In many cases a second harrowing can be given after a week, and, unless the season is very unfavorable, by this time the plants will have made a sufficient growth to commence using the cultivator.
With most spring crops it is an item to plant in good season. The early planted crops, other things being equal, will give much the best yield, but at the same time early cultivation is necessary in order to get a strong, vigorous growth and the soil must be well prepared before planting in order to make it possible to begin cultivation in good season. It is better to defer the planting a day or two and spend the time in the work of preparation than to plant the seed and depend upon working the soil into a good till afterwards.
The soil ought not to be disturbed until after it is sufficiently dried out to work into a good tilth. It rarely pays to commence working the soil until it is dry. Sometimes it may pay to plough when wet, but it is rather the exception. Some help can occasionally be given by providing good drainage, so that the surface water will run off rapidly.
Usually land ploughed in the fall or early winter, if well drained, will be ready to plough much earlier than if left undisturbed until spring, and will generally work into a good tilth more readily. But it will pay to harrow and dr8g, or roll, if necessary, in order to get the soil in a good tilth before planting, and usually into proportion to the way this is done the less will be the work of giving clean, thorough cultivation. Plan Bhead, so that this work can be done in good season and the seed be planted early.
Farm Notes.
If you are careful to keep the furrows straight you will do faster and better plowing.
A diversity of crops distributes work, receipts and expenses more evenly through the year and through the years.
Here is a good cure for a bee sting: Take equal parts of scda and vinegar and rub it on the place stung while the stuff is fomenting. It will give relief immediately.
In no other way can a farmer so radically do the work of nature to his advantage as by using tyle for underdrainage both lengthens the seasons and deepens the soil.
The annual honey product of America is about one hundred million pounds, and its value is nearly fifteen million dollars. The annual wax product is about five hundred thousand pounds and its value more than one hundred thousand dollars.
Horses require generous feeding and good care this month if they are to be kept in good heart to enter upon the spring work, which will soon begin. They should never be left to stand unblanketed when exposed to the cutting, boisterous winds. When driving in the rain a light rubber blanket will more than pay for itself in saving of horses and harness.
